I am new to Medicare Part B as I was covered under my spouses insurance after I retired in 2012. She will be retiring on Dec 31st so we are in the market.

I like Plan F because you know your costs up front, no deductibles, no co pays, and no co insurance. I like the price of the Advantage plans but due to our travel schedule I do not think the passport program in the Advantage plan would work for us.

The Benefits of Plan F are required to be the same for all carriers, the only difference is price. Blue Cross is $180
per month. I was told United would be around $190. Do you have the plan F high deductible plan ?

My Part D drug plan will be $34.10 per month with no deductible. I only take two medicines .

I have been with USAA since college and got the same mailer on Part F, I do not know the price but I think it was $ 188.

Unlike asking a potential Doctor if they take Blue Cross or United the key question with Part F is to ask if they take Medicare, if so then you are home free. I had a friend that got cancer and unfortunately passed away and her husband said the bill was $300, 000 and because they had Plan F it did not cost a thing.

Good Luck in your search.
